6	ALGERIA 1580
Title	Algerii Sarace Norum Urbis Fortissimae, in Numidia Africae
Description	George Braun and Franz Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World) revolutionised the view of the world when it was first published. It included over 450 town plans with all their buildings depicted, and to add further interest, costumed figures occupy the foreground of most. Algiers is known as ‘El-Bahdja’ in Arabic or ‘Alger la Blanche’ in French for the glistening white of its buildings rising up from the sea. The Ottomans captured the city from the Spanish in 1529 and it remained under Ottoman rule for three centuries until the French invasion of Algeria in 1830. It was the key port of the Barbery Corsairs who pirated European ships in the Mediterranean, kidnapping the crews and demanding ransoms under threat of enslavement. This resulted in numerous attempts by various European powers to regain the city.
